Big day for NTA. The Board officially rescinds its proposal to close our school and convert us to a high school. A huge thanks to all our allies and supporters who helped make this historic victory possible. #CPSBoard #StandWithNTA #WeAreNTA

"This investment is not a stamp of approval for the bureaucracy of CPS, but I do want to see CPS students succeed. Instead, I am witnessing what seems to be the never-ending cycle of the displacement of our black and brown children." #WeAreNTA chicagotribune.com/news/opin…
